Trying to get started in the fix & flip space, anybody shopping deals around let me know!

Oh, and my insurance agent is telling me my premiums are likely going to double once I rent out the apartment - fun times (Yes we are shopping that around). 

Give me a shout anytime, I'm always free to talk shop

I am shopping around for a cash out refi on a rental property and have a couple of very good prospects.

You just need to shop around more and take care of the big items, like the roof, if needed.

.- This unlocks cash to allow you to buy a new larger home for your growing family(congrats) with 5% down (Since it's a primary residence)- This allows you to exit the current home and cash in on the $600 cashflow differential(minus the monthly payment of the HELOC, minus maintenance and plus tax savings ).Could be a strategy that works well for you, please feel free to reach out if you want to talk shop and run the #s.Zach

@Robert Gilstrap several reasons:1) Investors think they are smarter than all dumb ol' PMs, so the cheaper idiot the better.2) Investors think PM services are a commodity, so if they all offer the same service, price is all that matters3) Investors don't do enough research to understand everything a PMC does, so in their ignorance they default to shopping by price.Take your pick!

There's a commercial hub with brewrries, restaurants, shops, recreation rentals, store, etc. plus its close to rivers. waterfalls, mountains.

I did not read the entire post -- sorry if it's a duplicate.call around to all local cabinet specialty shops -- high volume shops sometimes have orders that fall through and are custom made for someone else's space that can be a great deal -- and retrofit into the space in which you need it.hope this helpsalso if you install the prefab unfinished cabinets yourself you can do an average sized kitchen for 1200 + 200 for paint/stain done in 3-4 days max
